Portland Blogger’s Brunch February Meetup

I’m a member of the Portland Blogger’s Brunch group: a meetup of about 50+ local bloggers who meet once every two months to network, talk about all things blogging, and make some local blogger friends. I went to my first meetup in December, and it was so much fun!

First we went around the room and introduced ourselves. We were all floored by the blogger behind @PreschoolGems (pictured above, in the orange), who has 111,000 followers on Twitter!! (That’s one-hundred-eleven thousand!)

I think leopard ballet flats are a trend this year!!

I then had the privilege of giving a 20-minute talk about how to increase your following and gain readers, which is a topic I was asked a lot about at the last meeting. All of us are at so many different stages in our blogging journeys, but it’s a topic that I think is relevant no matter how big your blog is.

We then had a craft where we made rolled fabric roses for leather bracelets and hairpins. I made two in my favorite color for a sweet little bobby pin (just roll and hot glue!!) Imagine making some of these for a little girl in your life, in satin, tulle, and chiffon – or addings rhinestones and pearls! What a pretty Valentine’s Day present would that be?!
